Global Etiquette Workshop held at Sungshin Hall, Sujeong Campus of Sungshin Women’s University

On June 25, Sungshin Women’s University successfully held the “Pre-departure Orientation for 2025 Second Semester Exchange Students” at the Sungshin Building on the Donam-Sujeong Campus.

The training session was attended by a total of 102 students, including 86 students scheduled to participate in the second semester exchange program and 16 students enrolled in summer short-term programs such as Korea-China-Japan and Korea-ASEAN initiatives. The session focused on essential pre-departure information, procedures, and preparation.

The pre-departure training was conducted in two phases:

1. A joint session for all language groups

2. Separate sessions tailored to specific language regions

The joint session covered key topics such as immigration document submission, safety measures, a special lecture on enhancing global competence, credit transfer procedures, and scholarship systems—offering practical information to establish a foundation for study abroad preparation. In the second phase, students were divided into five language groups—English, Japanese, Chinese, German, and French. Each session featured tailored content focusing on the cultural characteristics and everyday life information specific to the respective regions.

This comprehensive training program was meaningful in that it helped students not only understand the necessary pre-departure procedures but also prepare in-depth for academics and daily life in their destination countries—boosting their readiness and adaptability.

Following the training, the Office of International Exchange Programs at Sungshin Women’s University hosted an “Information Session on International Exchange Programs for the First Semester of the 2026 Academic Year” on July 2. The hybrid session (both online and offline) attracted 198 participants, reflecting strong interest in the university’s global programs. The session introduced various international exchange opportunities offered by Sungshin, including semester-long exchange programs, summer/winter short-term programs, and the Sungshin Global Friends initiative. Participants were also provided with real-life experiences shared by previous outbound students, as well as detailed information on application procedures, eligibility requirements, and scholarship options.

In the second semester of the 2025 academic year, Sungshin Women’s University plans to send 132 students to 67 partner universities across 20 countries through exchange programs. Additionally, 127 students will participate in summer short-term programs. Among them, 107 students have been selected for nine language-specific programs, while 10 students each will take part in the “Korea-China-Japan Asia Women’s Leadership Program” and the “Korea-ASEAN Talent Development and Cultural Exchange Program.” In total, 259 students are expected to participate in international study and training programs during the second semester and summer period of the 2025 academic year.

This vibrant international engagement reflects Sungshin Women’s University’s ongoing commitment to strengthening global capabilities. According to the 2024 University Information Disclosure data, 21.23% of the newly enrolled student cohort had study abroad experience—placing the university in the top 10 nationwide and 6th among universities in Seoul. Sungshin Women’s University will continue to expand global opportunities for each student and provide structured support to nurture globally competitive talent.
